The things I do for love! Collard Greens...

Jason has been mentioning he misses collard greens from when his family lived in Kentucky and would have family get togethers. So today, I decided to whip some up... serving them with lazy foods (Fried Chicken, mashed potatoes, mac & cheese and some of the homemade corn bread I posted last week.. made fresh today :)

Recipe from SouthernGirl3 at allrecipes.com

Ingredients

1 bunch collard greens - rinsed, trimmed and chopped (This means cutting out the center stem from each leaf and rolling what's left and trimming into 1 inch strips.)

2 smoked ham hocks

2 (10.5 ounce) cans condensed chicken broth (I just used 3 cans of Swanson chicken broth in place of both this condensed broth and water.)

21 fluid ounces water

1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar

salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Place the collard greens and ham hocks in a large pot. Mix in the chicken broth, water, and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer 2 hours.
